Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack has admitted he feared Fernando Alonso would leave his team at the end of the season.
Fernando Alonso switched to Aston Martin last year and after an impressive first season at Aston Martin, a second season followed this year, but at the end of which Alonso would expire his contract.
After much speculation and a lot of uncertainty, a contract extension recently followed until at least the end of 2026 and Aston Martin are very happy with that. Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack admits that Aston Martin was afraid that Alonso would leave the racing team at the end of this season.
“Yes, as he was not sure he would continue racing,” said Mike Krack when asked if he had doubts about Fernando Alonso re-signing. “That doubt meant I couldn’t sleep very well, not that he would go anywhere else, he is always incredible with what he says, I trusted what he said and that he would stick to it.”
“There was doubt, but that is no longer there.”
